  • Siunciam ! :)

  • If this was played in school, i would go every day with a smile on my face, ready to discuss and talk about how the society is doing, how to help, etc. We need more movies like these, that help us understand the world a little better and the people in it, btw you can't stay quiet when they win the trophie, have to shoot your arms in the sky and go HELLLLL YEAH!!!

  • The scene where Nancy was crying over her father's grave broke me down

  • @idkitsyemii That was a hard scene to watch! This was a great film.

  • People don't realize that full scale genocide was practiced by the English against the Irish. My own clan once experienced a massacre of over a thousand. It was just much harder to murder the Irish before the English obtained guns.

  • jolly okot! i know her! (1:19) for all you invisible children supporters--this is "the bottle cap lady" who is basically the mother of IC. god. so beautiful.

  • I'm going to see x th1s m0v!ie @ MOOV ZON . COM just google for the link above

  • @ianTarshis Liar. NOBODY GO TO THAT WEBSITE. TRUST ME.

  • these soundtracks make the movie just so emotional...do someone know where can i get those soundtracks??

  • I need to see this movie,where can I find it? please help...i absolutely need it!

  • This documentary was amazing. I cried and laughed with the kids. They are my new heroes.

  • the movie look beautiful..i have to get my mitts on it...has anyone here ever been to africa..id like to go one day for a month or so..but im a little ignorant to which part is safe or unsafe.

  • This video was so amazing, I watch small parts of it everyday..my hart goes out to the people of Uganda and to many parts of "Mama". God bless Africa.

    By the way the Acholi totally kicked A** in the traditional dance catagory....they definitely earned that award!

  • AMAZING I lovvvvved this documentary-it makes me wanna jump on a plane and be a nurse in AFRICA and help these people-

  • This is an amazing documentary, watch it!

  • This movie should make all Black Americans shiver with gratitude. These kids go to school and learn and value education, in the MOST DIRE situations imaginable, often orphaned, with no shoes, torn clothes, horrific experiences in their past which American kids could never fathom. Instead, the black 'leaders' teach American blacks to be 'victims' for their entire lives. These kids know REAL poverty and misery, unlike their black counterparts in the US. As here, it's BLACKS killing BLACKS too!

  • I must say BoEmery, I absolutely love that comment, it's very very true, I grew up in Russia and seen poverty and what war looks like and didn't have the privileges found in USA. Americans have so much at their disposal and don't take advantage of it. Majority is very spoiled, rude and jaded. Everybody should visit a 3rd world country to get their perspective in order. With so much information available nobody should be ignorant, uneducated and rude to other brothers and sisters.

  • Thank you. I'm white in America, so I know I have an advantage from the start, however, my 'people' were the first 'slaves' here, the Irish. But the one factor that has served to eliminate poverty universally is education, and blacks in America get access to free education, yet don't utilize it as they should, instead idolizing rappers, ball players, etc. If these kids had the opportunities their counterparts in America do, they'd all be doctors, lawyers, etc. They're GRATEFUL for school.

  • Really? Black people can go to post-secondary school free just because of their skin colour? When did this happen?

    The fact that you just compared discrimination against the Irish to slavery and genocide is not only offensive, but in the end laughable. Not to mention the fact that the first large waves of Irish emigration began just before slavery had finished, nearly 300 years after it began.

  • Obama recently said the same thing he said instead of wanting to be rappers and ballers black america should try to be scientists

  • Can you verify that the Irish were the first Slaves here cause I thought the first slaves in America were documented in 1560's I know they werent Irish.

  • This movie is so amazing, I believe it was such a realistic depiction. Not sugar coated...but atthe same time shows how amazing the people and children of Potonga are.....It just reminds me of a scripture in the bible where it says the last will be the first and the first will be the last.

    I look forward to the day these beautiful black people with all of the attrocities that are branded in their minds become the first.

    Godbless mama Africa!

  • This is such an amazing movie... it made me cry... we watched it in Economics class. My Ec teacher's boyfriend sang a song for the film and so she got to meet the three children of whom this documentary is about.

  • this movie mad me almost cry during social studies AT SCHOOL because it was so sad, but its very inspraratonal!

  • omg, at school we had to watch it, SO SAD

  • Thank you. May we all become the Collaboration that protects the future. I do not know about you but I do not want to be the one looking back 10 or even a year from now and say... Will that Ever Change? NO! I want to see change today. What stone is afraid to be turned. What does it take to make this happen Today. SOLUTIONS WE WANT SOLUTIONS NOT PROMISES> ARE YOU WITH ME> Lets Do it together.. Collaboration Cures Crisis.,

  • This documentry is amazing!! It's sad yet inspiring.

  • I saw this movie at the Atlanta Film Festival....It was amazing!!!

  • the kid in the movie dominic goes to my school in appleby college

  • inspiring group of kids :)

  • I hope viewers learn to look beyond the propaganda and get the real story. There's no feel-good reality in Uganda right now, though this film approaches the simplistic formula of storytelling that Americans love so much.

    Peace in Africa? Yes We Can!

  • There's no feel-good reality anywhere. We're all doomed to an existence of misery and debasement and that's why 'escapism' exists- to provide us with temporary relief instead of a permanent solution. Thanks, global capitalism!

  • this is a pretty stupid and insipid comment. You're probably a spoiled, over-privileged white kid who would only know 'sacrifice' if they looked it up in the dictionary. Instead of complaining about that which you know not, take your useless life and focus it toward others, b/c you obviously don't know how to live it.

  • What the hell is your problem? What does the moral position of altruism vs. individualism have to do with what I said about escapism and the West's view of Africa? I was merely stating that xposeuganda's view that there was no feel-good reality was only half-right. And, I'll have you know I'm a Communist, and altruism is the most basic moral standing of that belief. So save the speech for an Objectivist, you clown.

  • Yeah, right, Communist, they're the EPITOME of charity! That's why people are smuggled out of China every day, or float to Miami from Cuba, etc.! You're probably an ultra-liberal too, and probably post from your MAC while driving a Volvo, drinking Starbucks and complaining all the while about big corporations! Just so typical of leftists to complain and be negative when they so often have never lived with real deprivation. Be grateful, and get out of yourself! Do something for others!

  • The fact that you just called me "liberal" shows that you haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about.

  • Only a fucking liberal would say the things you do. And communists are usually just extreme liberals. In fact, I'm quite sure that if you were born in the USA, you voted for Obama, and are drooling over our descent into Socialism, then hoping for the next step. By the way, have you ever had a job? You sound like a lifetime student who's spent entirely too much time reading books and not enough on the playground. While I understand your language, it is not how normal people communicate.

  • "communists are usually just extreme liberals" *head desk*

    1) I'm Canadian 2) I don't support Obama 3) The fact that you compare socialism and liberalism is comical, as is the fact that you capitalised "socialism", probably means that you know everything you do about it from watching Glenn Beck. Nothing Obama has done is socialist in the least. I'm 20, I've been working for 7 years, I did a brief stint in the military, and I'm living in Germany right now on a work visa.

  • @ pinkfloyd...you are wrong. He nationalized the auto industry and wants to nationalize the health care industry. If that's not socialism, nothing is. We don't want to be another Canada.

  • @moejeffreys No, he bailed the banks out with taxpayer money, but they are not publicly owned, an act which Bush also green-lit a year previous. Are you saying Bush is a socialist as well? Maybe if you nationalised your health system then you wouldn't be the shame of the Western world. Tell me why Canada ranks significantly higher in terms of world health systems, and why Sarah Palin prefers to get her treatments here?

  • @p1nkfl0yd the banks and the auto industry are under governments control now...that is socialism. Our health care if just fine, thank you.

  • @moejeffreys Thanks for completely disregarding my point. I'll ask you this: when the banks and all the corporations that were bailed out earn a profit, will that profit go to the public trust? I think not. Although I will say I was mistaken; Canada is not SIGNIFICANTLY higher, only 7 spots above. But yes, you should be proud of the U.S.' health care system. At least you're better than Slovenia! Not quite up to the standard of Costa Rica, sadly.

  • @p1nkfl0yd - GM is under the control of the government. That is socialism. You changed the subject and started a rant about health care, and our health care is really none of your business since you do not live in the United States. We have the best doctors in the world, bar none. I am quite happy with the health care I get. No waiting lists...no denials of service...and it is affordable. The bottom line is this...it's none of your business. You don't live in this country.

  • Comment removed

  • And...Bush did not bail out the auto industry. That was Obama and his democrat pals. They are idiots. I don't care what Sarah Palen does or does not do...but I have never heard of ANYBODY from the United States going to Canada for ANYTHING relating to health care. No reason to...the best doctors and the best medical care is right here in the United States. It doesn't matter what some leftwing board says...they measure the quality of health care not on service, but on how socialist you are.

  • BoEmery,

    These comments are meant to be about the movie, and a wonderful movie at that. Would you mind keeping your judgments about others who post here, and their views, to yourself? Let us express our opinions please, free from your vitriol.

    Thank you.

    A white, homosexual, liberal, HIV-positive, iced-latte-drinking, mass-transit-advocating-but-no­netheless-two-time-Volvo-drivi­ng, proudly socialist American. (Well, actually I'm a closet heterosexual, but we won't get into that...)

  • Actually, I'll say whatever the hell I want to say! But thanks for the suggestion.

  • @motive440 Couldn't have put it better myself - I salute you!

  • @BoEmery Wow..you're a fucking asshole. haha...Quite judging people you've never met and shut the fuck up!

  • @xposeuganda it's true that it is extremely tough and horrifying in uganda, but we need movies like this to show that there is some hope or else the world is really shot to hell through and through

  • Hey stop posting porn sites! Have manners and respect!

  • does anyone know where i an download this documentary then please let me know

  • download from filenest..com now!

  • the soundtrack is on itunes, but what is the song @ the end of the trailer?

  • This Film SHOULD Have Won That Academy Award For Best Documentary Feature Which It ABSOLUTELY DESERVED!

  • Does anyone know the name of the song that played at the very beginning of the film?

  • i was so happey at the end of this. They said they were the best and they proved it

  • omg i tried to watch it once but it was to sad so i couldnt watch but when i finished it was amazing. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. it is sooo moving and the storys that tell are almost hard to believe there so sad

  • dis was a great documentary...i watched it in skool

  • Excellent documentary! It was in between a movie and documentary. Great cinematography, almost made you feel like you were in the movie. The soundtrack is great if you like west African music.

  • looks moving, glad to see there's always some hope in dance and music.

  • It never came to the theaters in my town, but I'm definitely going to keep my eye out. All the other wonderful documentaries were very disturbing, but at least this one looks uplifting. Never underestimate the power of music and dance. =)

  • It'll suck at some points, but the good thing is, the ending is uplifting, and not in the Hollywood kind of way. It's very grounded in reality.

  • Sad it didn't win for best documentary.

  • I just seen this flim at a flim festival! It was really well done. But very sad.

  • ain't no peace man sudan still fucked up

  • yep! And befre you know it. It will probably no longer exist!

  • No matter how good you think it's going to be, it will absolutely blow you away. And don't be afraid that you will leave the theatre feeling depressed. You will leave with hope in your heart and a new understanding of how you can better the world. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM!!

  • be happy is so easy

  • Best documentary I have ever seen period. So moving and beautiful. Incredible footage and editing as well. The trailer barely scrapes the surface of how powerful this film is. See it!

  • For sure a MUST SEE movie as it's to big for words!

    Fact is, it's not only telling their story, it says so much about us and our modern world, without even mentioning it, that's how powerfull this movie is.

    All my respect to those children and people who find the spirit and energy to go on with their lives!

  • Oscar Nomination!

  • beautiful.. makes us think... we are all branches of the same tree.. an indivisble ocean of tears... what has the world become into?...

    peace.

  • Watched it I think 2 weeks ago, loved it. Tried to follow the beat and got lost, and still loved it!

  • most people in america have no conception of the state of affairs in africa. very encouraging to know that even the horror of war cant extinguish the human spirt. great trailer,,i'd like to see it. has it been released on dvd?

  • no it's not out on dvd yet, it's just been released in select theaters across the nation about a month ago so if you go to the movie's website you can see where it is currently playing!

  • The children and their mentors are incredible

  • Healing the World through music is a great way...one that I believe in.

  • Incredible! Powerful. Will break and heal your heart! I will feature this trailer on

    Global Peace Global Healing. The youth of War Dance must meet Afroreggae! (Movie:Favela Rising!)They both come from incredible violence and now are inspiration for the world!
